Home Less Home: Shipping Container House Questions the Necessities of Modern Living

The top floor also houses a table for four, a bookcase, a sliding wooden screen, and a balcony made from the container’s edge. Designed by Erik Juul Architects, the fantastic scaffolding and shipping container house packs all the necessities of modern life into one affordable space that preserves a direct and healthy connection to nature.

An exhibition of some of IKEA’s basic life’s products called ‘Smart Space People’ popped up next to the house in Copenhagen square.

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Shipping containers maybe, but yikes all that plastic!? An interesting idea done badly!

Just a small correction here – the HomeLessHome container is a project from Erik Juul Architects – http://www.erikjuul.com while the IKEA home at Højbro Plads was a different installation next to the one from Erik Juul. So this container structure you see on the pictures is NOT made in cooperation with IKEA 😉
